Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this "estimate range". An estimate of the selling price Should Not Be Relied Upon As A Statement That This Is The Price At Which The Item Will Sell Or Its Value Guarantee Of Any Kind or For Any Other Purpose/Appraisal.

14. Atlanta Auction Company reserves the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide; he may withdraw a lot or may divide any lot or combine a lot or lots. In the event of error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid whether during or after a sale, the auctioneer has the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to re-offer and re-sell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Atlanta Auction Company sale record shall be conclusive.

15. Live Internet bidding is available during the auction, however, Atlanta Auction Company cannot be held responsible for the Live Internet Bids that are not sent, received or executed by administrator. We accept bids from the floor gallery, by left bid, by phone bid and online. You may place an absentee bid online and still not prevail when the selling price is the same or, in some cases, lower than the winning bid. The reason for this is the auctioneer takes bids from where he/she sees them first. A person (live in the same room) relays the internet bids to the auctioneer and sometimes the auctioneer will see one of the other bid (gallery, phone or gallery absentee) first. If the online record of an auction shows the online bidder at the top of the bids,but has a floor bidder at the same price THE FLOOR BID BOUGHT IT. This occurs at every live auction where internet bids are handled and usually several times every auction. THE FACT THAT IT SAY ONLINE THAT THE "EARLIER BID TAKES PRECEDENCE IS ONLY TRUE FOR BIDS PLACED ON EBAY BUT NOT FOR A REAL LIVE AUCTION". The auctioneer in a live auction DOES NOT KNOW YOUR TOP BID and, in fact, doesn't know whether your bid is absentee or in real time. If you email about this issue, you will be directed to this paragraph. We will not return your telephone call about this issue. Also, be advised, that some bids may be delayed due to the data transmission (and human transmission) so that the auctioneer does not recognize a bid from the internet. (This also tend to happen quite frequently and we have no control over. Your only guarantee is to be in the room bidding live. The auctioneer is the final determination on who is the winning bidder and Not the Internet Clerk or Online Record of Bids.

If you purchase any firearms, you must provide a valid Federal Firearms License faxed to 770-237-9276 before we can ship your item(s). If you do not have a FFL valid you must have your items shipped to a person or store that has a valid FFL license. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!! If you can not provide this information for firearms, then don't bid on any firearms..

All items are shipped Fed-x ground, if you want your items shipped quicker than ground additional charges will be added to you invoice.
